The weekend festival will pay tribute to Clash frontman Joe Strummer, a lynchpin of festivals across the UK
And in a rare year off, Michael Eavis, who built a friendship with the singer over many years of his shows at Glastonbury, said: "It's good to know that the spirit of Strummerville will still be alive in our part of the world."
Campfire sessions will be central to the festival, an homage to Strummer's communities at festivals across the UK, where people could come to drink, talk and laugh with like-minded individuals.
